This is by far my favorite comic shop. I drive about an hour to come visit, even though there are other shops closer. Ive been cooking here for the better part of a decade, and will continue to do so.Knowledgeable staff, and theyre respectful to all patrons. Every time Im in the mood for something new or different, theres always someone on staff thats able to recommend titles based on what Im in the mood for and preferred art style.Highly recommend. I wish I could give them more than a 5/5

I was blown away by the selection and by the friendly and helpful staff. I expected Marvel and DC. I was pleasantly surprised, though, that they also had lots of comics from other publishers, quirky graphic novels, and even a selection of homegrown comics made by local artists. I brought a long list of things I was interested in, but the staff member who helped me didnt even bat an eye. She helped me find everything I was looking for!

Fun store! Lots of brand new comic titles to peruse. A pretty nice selection of Comic book character statues and figures. Statues were a very good price!Only cons for me, was the back stock comic prices. While a nice selection, it seemed that $4.25 was a lucky number or something. Some books a great deal, majority were not. New monthly titles arent bagged, so expect a whole lot of spine tics and folds.Overall? Be sure to stop by. Very friendly, kid friendly and just a different store!

Nice and clean comic shop in a strip mall located close to restaurants. Excellent selection of comics, I was impressed with the variety of titles available, nice collection of graphic novels as well. Lots of independent and some local authors. Parking was fine, although you need to pay attention when backing out. Was good to see a good flow of traffic coming in and out.

I’ve been an off-and-on customer for 7 years. There have been years where I’ve held a regular comic-pull of 7-10 titles per month, and years where I’ve rolled back to buying just single issue per occasional visit. No matter the level of customer commitment, the shop’s always friendly and happy to have my business. These are good people and everyone should read more comics!

We had such a great time #ladyxtreme

Really nice shop. Incredible selection manga. We were visiting from out of town and popped by before we left. We will definitely go again and spend more time.

Very friendly and knowledgeable staff!

There are a plethora of comics, graphic novels, and Manga here. If you are looking for Pop collectibles, this is a great place for that, too. They also sell local works too! I have difficulty finding Daredevil in other places around town, but not here...except for that one issue that just keeps eluding me.

Love this place and the workers. We are new to comics and the two ladies at the register were very helpful and made me and my daughter feel welcome and answered all our questions. We signed up for the pull program and will be back.

My local shop. Ive never gone in there and not had excellent service. Nice staff, huge selection. I have eclectic tastes, and they are always accommodating. Id recommend this to anyone.

Great place for comics, manga with toys/figures peppered in here and there! Always so sweet and helpful. One of my favorite places.

Great place to go! Ordered a few mangas and comics here, the staff are very hopeful.

Took a trip to Columbus and had to check out this shop. Clean and inviting shop that had a HUGE variety of trades and new books, and a decent inventory of back stock and older books. The staff was very polite and helpful with finding certain books as well. I also was very impressed with the selection of kids comics and book for my daughters. Thank you Laughing Ogre staff for a great shop experience.

The Laughing Ogre is a local bookstore but for comics. It sells comics and comic related items, not magic cards and not board games; which is great there are other shops in the same area that do both AND it keeps the vibe of buying Magic the Gathering singles away, which is a very weird and kinda loud vibe.Case in point: when entering the Ogre you feel compelled to hush your voice like youre going into The Book Loft or even Half Price. People are quietly reading and discussing their hobby This is not true of, say, The Soldiery next door. I say this as an avid patron of both places.I say all this up front to make sure this message gets across: this is the best comic store in the city by far. Their staff have one focus: comics. They have more space for the one thing they sell: comics. The variety and quality and cleanliness is, bar none, the best of any shop Ive been to in Columbus and its all because theyve managed to cultivate this atmosphere and purpose by doing one thing exceedingly well.They are a book store for comics. Its incredible.

Gotta love wearing a muzzle when all other stores dont require them. And they dont like your 2nd amendment rights either.

Popped in for a random old Sandman TPB, and was surprised they had as many titles as they did. Well laid out store, and if you are even a little nerdy (or know someone who is!), this place is great.

Wonderful comic shop and knowledgeable staff. A very comforting environment for BIPOC, Queer, and/or disabled people.Selection is vast and better than youll get at the Book Loft for comics and manga. (Was personally happy to see Trung Le Nguyens The Magic Fish on display, as well as the Brian K. Vaughn and Fiona Staples Saga collections)They also have a nice selection of merch for comics and anime, with a few posters.(Good music playing too)

Ive been visiting this place infrequently for 16 years. I like the selection of comics and collectables. Yet, I have never once found the service to be exceptional. Unless you are a regular, you are all but ignored and treated like your questions are an inconvenience. I wish it was different, but this has been the case on all but one of my visits. This place has lost out on thousands of my dollars due to sub-par customer service

Friendly and helpfull staff. Nice selection ofNew comics. Back issues, trade paperbacks and figures/toys

Really fun atmosphere, helpful employees, lots of manga and comic books Id never heard of but was intrigued by. Definitely coming here again.

Absolutely great experience! Beautiful store with friendly, helpful staff!

I love this comic book store! Great employees that are friendly and helpful! This is one store in my area that has had the popular comics when some other stores are out! I enjoy their back issue section as well! Ive found several comics that Ive been needing to complete a few series! I highly recommend this store to comic lovers and friends!

Great place and very helpful associates for this event that we went to to see Jason David frank.... the green power ranger. My daughter was so excited to meet him.

A great local comic books store, has the best selection of any stores Ive seen :) employees are always nice and helpful

Incredibly friendly and staff who go out of their way both to greet customers and to help.

We saw the Green Power Ranger. The event we well organized. There was social distancing and people were all wearing masks.

Im really not into this kind of stuff, my daughter wanted to stop and check it out so I really cannot give a fair detail about it, it seems like the card shop like dungeons and dragons that type of stuff. If youre into that good for you go check it out if youre not I probably would avoid it.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. They had items for almost all ages. I would recommend to anyone.

Good comic store, great selection of hardcovers and trades to read. Nice selection of statues too

Loved the selection of Funko pops

Ive been going here for decades. Highly recommend for and comic/graphic novel/manga fan.

Great selection, knowledgeable and friendly staff. Highly recommended.

Great shop, very friendly and knowledgeable staff

Great courteous staff. Anyone looking for rare good condition fungo pops this is your spot. Fair prices and perfect quality. Been a repeat customer for awhile now.

Friendly people, great selection of comics and manga

I was headed to Columbus for the day and I searched for best comic shop Columbus, OH Laughing Ogre was the first result and the highest rated for the search. When I got there, it was brightly lit, it was clean, and a very warm/inviting environment! The selection was mind boggling! The young ladies working there were polite, courteous, and helpful beyond my expectations! When I asked about a small or minimally circulated book, they exhausted several avenues trying to find this book that was no where to be found. While I was upset the book was not available, the disappointment was quickly replaced with appreciation. For the lengths they went to trying to find it. Next time I am in Columbus, I will be hitting this shop again, guaranteed!

Manga and indi focused comic shop

A very knowledgeable place of comic workers. Great selection of materials and souvenirs.

Plenty of stuff in stock. Knowledgeable staff. Huge huge selection of trades and hardcovers!

Great staff, great selection. Support your local comic shops!

Really great place, lots of books and complete sets. Staff really knows their stuff. Also had really nice chat about need culture and cyberpunk stuff. Wish you luck out there guardian.

Ive shopped at the ogre for 20+ years and Ive always been satisfied with the service, selection and prices. My favorite comic store.

My go to for comics and merch. Always has been a great shop

Great selection, great staff, love visiting with my daughter and picking out new stuff

I found what I was looking for. Great comic book selection. Good customer service, the gentleman was very knowledgeable

Awsome place to check out great comics and graphic novels

Great variety and happy to seek and order titles not in stock

Great product, and knowledgeable staff.

Best comic book store in town!

Always a welcoming atmosphere!

An associate immediately greeted me, asked what I was looking for, and pointed me to what I needed. Comprehensive selection and great service!

I am so torn between Comic book Heros and games... And this. Ugh so many options!

The staff is friendly and the store has a huge selection. I visited for the first time and will be making many return trips. For anime fans, they have several shelves of manga and light novels. They also have a limited selection of merchandise.

Most selection great staff

Lots of weird stuff.

Great local comics shop. Everyone who works there is friendly, and you never feel out of place. Especially great selection of kids comics and graphic novels.

Great store, friendly staff. Great variety of comics and all kinds of gems in the store. One of my favorite places to visit.

Staff is really friendly and the comic/manga selection is really varied and amazing

Nice staff and good enough selection for size.

This is a fantastic comic book store! Its large, with tons of merchandise thats laid out well with room to move! There is so much to browse, and they even have graphic novels and trades categorized by creator, which I think is pretty cool because even a seasoned comic reader might be surprised at what a favorite has wrote across multiple companies. The staff was nice. They had local creators actually drawing near the back when we came in. And, in the same building is the Solidery, a great game shop! So you have so much to see in one trip.

Excellent place a little pricey but better than most comic stores

Awesome LCS. I like to shop for comics when I travel and its good to find stores great as Laughing Ogre. Friendly, helpful staff. Broad selection of comics. I love the wall of trades separated by creator! Back issues could be stronger, but Im picking at nits.

Really chill environment and a great selection of books to choose from!

Loved visiting this shop! Its feels a bit more like a bookstore but in a good way. Its very organized and clean. The staff was helpful and friendly. They seem to be a popular store as they had a line of people getting their weekly comic books. Would definitely visit again when we are back in town.

The Laughing Ogre has a wonderful selection of comics, graphic novels, collectibles, etc. My husband and I have spent so much time searching through every row and box. Majority of the staff are always super helpful and incredibly nice as soon as you walk through the door. I have mainly received helped from the women that work there and they are so knowledgeable. I appreciate them so much! Definitely worth checking out.

This is a great place to pick up some comics. They also carry graphic novels among other types of books and accessories. I also liked their section of POP! figures to choose from. They also offer a fairly large kid section to browse through. Definitely an added bonus shopping for the young fans too. Check them out!

Airways a fun store to find your having needs

Excellent team and store.

Love this place! Friendly and helpful.

This is hands down the best comic book store I have ever been to. They are so knowledgeable, and so incredibly nice. Im new to comics, and they always make me feel welcome, and help answer all my questions. I cant say this for most other comic book stores Ive been in. They have a fantastic selection, its always neat and clean, and again--they are so nice. Definitely worth a visit. Dont just buy from Amazon. Go chat with these lovely people--youll be glad you did.

Great staff who are ready to help with any questions you may have. Not sure what to pick up for the first time or to add to your pull? They are always quick with suggestions to match a readers tastes.

Rude and very unhelpful. Id rather cross the city for better service and stock!

A beautiful bookstore. No games or cards - theyre at another store nearby - which makes for a quiet, relaxing experience. Customer service is stellar, with everyone at the ready and nobody pushing for your attention. Will gladly come back.

Best comic shop ever!

Great atmosphere, nice layout

Love this store so much. Amazing selection. The best staff ever. Every kind of person in there shopping. Which I love to see.

Solid comic book shop - has everything plus more. The employees are soooooo kind, polite and ALWAYS greet you. They are always willing to help. The atmosphere is very inclusive and welcoming. EXCELSIOR!

Great atmosphere, and the staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. They had comics that I havent seen since I was a child! 10/10 would come again

This place just feels great inside. Terrific layout and selection. I really like the fact that I can search by title, author, or character.

Best comic shop in Ohio!!! The owner is amazing, and the staff is always wonderful!!They go above and beyond for their customers.

The workers there were super nice and helpful! We were not familiar with Columbus and had looked for a local comic shop while we were visiting. We are so happy we came across this gem.

I have so much love for this shop. Knowledgeable, helpful staff that never give you the geek-snob vibe. LOVE to have new customers stop in looking for the latest hot book. Dont let comic shops intimidate you. This place can help you find what you are interested in. From what Ive seen, they appear very female-friendly as well. They have several female employees.

Amazing store, very helpful!

Stopped in with some qyestions. Very friendly staff. If your a comic fan, this seems like a great store. From what i saw, it has a good combination of vintage, collection, and newer material. And they have off street parking.

Cool little comic shop with a good selection. Helpful staff that’s not in your face.

Love this place. I worked for an old, established comic shop when it opened and the owners were taking bets on how long it would last. That shop closed fifteen years ago.

This is a comic shop with lots of other stuff, a pretty wide selection and really helpful staff. Theyll help you find what you need as soon as you walk in. Easy to get to as well. I would check here first.

Nice shop! They have everything you’d hope a comic shop would have and an amazing kids section. Warm greeting as we entered.

Great selection of comics and trades, as well as plenty of collectibles. Theres tons of Funko Pop and some statues as well. The staff is friendly and helpful with suggestions for me or my kids when looking for new material. This is what a local comic shop should be, and I love coming in to shop around or just browse for something new.

Good selection of manga inside the store, great place if youre in need of physical copies of manga.

Good comic selection, and nice staff. Pretty much only comics and collectables though, which of course isnt a bad thing if thats what youre looking for. I was hoping for table top stuff. There is another store kind of hidden in the back of the same plaza that does sell board games and table top gaming stuff. Its not quite as nice of a store though.

Well stocked and incredibly well informed and helpful staff. I built out my truly ridiculous pull list with the young woman helping me out in about ten minutes. So glad I found this place.

Great selection of current comics, graphic novels, toys and more. The layout is pleasing and not too cramped like at some comic shops. Staff were attentive and happy to help or let you browse in peace.

Awesome staff. Amazing selection. The best shop in Columbus!

The best organized and operated comic shop I have had the pleasure of shopping at. As a parent I noted and appreciated the kid appropriate materials up front and consolidated in one place. The shelves are large and easy to scan. The all-female staff was exeptional and refreshing to see. I have a younger daughter whose growing interest in comics has increasingly led to asking about writers, artists and characters. So it will be nice to show her a shop too.

I like this place. I get comics for my students every now and then and they are pretty helpful. Only down side is that if I want to start a new series, the first issue is not always in stock.

The selection of new comic books is amazing. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. They are great at making recommendations, and are very friendly. The service is exceptional at the Ogre. If they dont have a book that you are looking for, they are great at ordering it. I highly recommend the Laughing Ogre.

Super nice comic book store, everyone was super nice and helpful. They have a great selection of stuff and their is no pressure to buy anything. My only issue is they close to early, its hard to their by their early closing time if you have kids and activities.

Fantastic local comic store with a plethora of comics and related items. Great staffwhi know their stuff.
